Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

SnoopyStyle It's been 5 years since Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway) found out that she's princess. Mia is turning 21 and wants to succeed her grandmother Queen Renaldi (Julie Andrews) of Genovia. Viscount Mabrey (John Rhys-Davies) convinces the parliament that Mia must be married or else his nephew Nicholas Devereaux (Chris Pine) gets the throne. She is given 30 days. Mabrey convinces Nicholas to stop her at any cost. Mia hates Nicholas but the Queen invites him to stay. Mia quickly picks Andrew Jacoby (Callum Blue) to marry. He seems to be a perfectly nice guy. Joe (Hector Elizondo) is still protecting the royals. Lilly Moscovitz (Heather Matarazzo) comes for a surprise visit. Things heat up when Mia falls for Nicholas.The story has lost its innocent charms. The moments, where they try to bring back that feeling like the bow and arrow scenes, are just too fake. There is a scene where Abigail Breslin is a young orphan. It's a good moment of trying to be heart warming. The rest is a bland rom-com. I don't really like Chris Pine here no matter how hard Anne Hathaway tries to sell it. On top of it all, Genovia looks like a street in a Disney amusement park. There is too much faking going on.

JanieJane *SPOILERS*The Good: Most of the wonderful, original cast is back, including a few new faces such as the future Capt. Kirk Chris Pine and Callum Blue, who ironically filmed this during his "Dead Like Me" years. And not forgetting to mention John Rhys-Davies, who makes even a bad movie worth watching. Also, we get to see how the romance between Clarice and Joe end up. It's always wonderful seeing an older couple romance portrayed so sweetly in movies today.Julie Andrews sings for the first time since her botched throat surgery. Even when her voice is at less-than-capacity, she can still out-sing just about anyone out there.The costumes are absolutely gorgeous!The Bad: Lily is reduced to a peripheral character here, with not much to do but support Mia in everything she does. And therein lies the problem. In the first movie, she acted as Mia's grounding force by criticizing her when necessary (like when she let her friends down). In this film, however, Lily just seems to play along. You'd think the uber-feminist Lily would have something to say about Mia's being forced to marry to become queen, but she doesn't. And at first she hates Nicholas for wanting to usurp the throne, but is fully supportive of Mia pursuing him later when her feelings for him change. The Lily from the first movie would be knocking some sense into her, not covering for her.Raven. She is completely out of place in this movie. However, as one of Disney's rising stars at the time, she was put in mainly to sell more tickets and soundtracks. I probably wouldn't have minded her had she not ruined Julie Andrews' song. Apparently kids today don't want to hear an "old lady" sing unless a teen is singing along with her in a hip-hop beat.What set this movie off on the wrong course in the first place is that it seems to be geared solely toward girls under the age of 7. The first movie had something for both kids and adults to love, but not so here. Mia's narration sounds like she's reading to preschoolers, characters say things out loud that are already implied, and certain throw-away scenes that had little to do with the plot were stuck in just to appeal to young girls. I think this approach ended up alienating a lot of fans of the first film.The Ugly:The editing. A lot of deleted scenes should have been left in, and some of the scenes that made it should have been left out (see below for an example). Also, the movie tended to go from one scene to another without much coherence. For instance, in one scene Mia stomps on Nicholas' foot in anger and runs to the kitchen to cry over ice cream. Clarice sort of, kind of admonishes her before taking her to see her new bedroom. Wait, what? What happened to Nicholas and his uncle? Who cares! Little girls want to see Mia's room and clothes, dang it!!The slumber party scene. Thank God for DVD's so you can skip right over it! It does absolutely nothing for the plot, and the premise of a 21-year-old having a slumber party with little girls as a "bachelorette" party is preposterous. She and Lily from the first movie should have gotten plastered and gone streaking around the castle or something. Oh wait, this is supposed to be a family movie. ;)

Jackson Booth-Millard I decided to try the first one from Disney as I had heard a relative amount about it, and then I saw there was a sequel with a lower rating, so I tried that too, from director Garry Marshall (Pretty Woman). Basically Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway) has settled into her new life as Princess of Genovia, living in the kingdom with her grandmother Queen Clarisse Renaldi (Dame Julie Andrews). It is a tradition that the Princess should marry in order to take that crown and lead the country, this is what the mean Viscount Mabrey (John Rhys-Davies). He is sure he can get Mia to fall in love with and marry his nephew Nicholas Devereaux (Chris Pine), even when she is already engaged to boring but good-looking Andrew Jacoby (Callum Blue). Thirty days is the amount of time Mia has to decide what to do, and when she does initially decide to marry Callum, on the day, she may have second thoughts. In the end, with the Queen's permission, and the support of others in the crowd, Mia decides not to marry, and this will be that will be the future for any Princess. Also starring Hector Elizondo as Joe, Heather Matarazzo as Lilly Moscovitz Kathleen Marshall as Charlotte Kutaway, Tom Poston as Lord Palimore and The Nutty Professor's Larry Miller as Paolo. Hathaway is still reasonably charming and amusing in parts, and Andrews is still a dignified and regal support, it's just what they've been made to do that's the problem. The film is too slow and long to be the same sort of comedy as the predecessor, and the story is flat and uninteresting to care about, I dozed off three times during it, a silly sequel. Adequate!

tforbey I loved the movie!!! I would like to see part 3 called Princess Mia's Wedding. I would like her to marry(Chris Pine). The movie should have them dating then getting married and ready to start a family. The 2nd was the best but I would change the title of the movie just with a new title will attract more viewers. Princess Diaries 2 was very very good and to have Chris Pine was very smart.Chris and Anne made a good match that is why if you make #3 with them both together you will be sure to have a winner. Also good music will be a plus in the movie. I have read the other comments from other viewers that have seen the movie and the comment were not bad but just think about it change the title and have Anne and Chris get together and you will see a new door open up with more viewers then you can name and have a winner try it and I know we all will love it.
